Established 1899 Will Put Up For Farm School. Farmers in Killian's School House District Nov Would Give Liberally. During the school closing ex ercises at Killian's School House 1 Friday five Catawba county farmers, on the spur of the mo ment, said they would give SIOO apiece toward securing it, if one of the proposed farm life schools could be had for Catawba county, and could be located in their vicinity. • These farmers were John- W. Robinson, John B. Lutz, A. L. Baker, Noe Propst and H. P. Lutz. Mr. Robinson had the lioor at the time and called for the hand primary. It would re quire for the county to be bonded tor $25,000, and to the income of $2,500 from these bonds the State wouid add $2,500 annually for the maintanance of the school. It might be that Esquire S. E. Killian who owns a large planta tion at this point and who has given the land for both a church, New Jerusalem, and for the present school house, would make a liberal donation of land for the farm school, if it would be placed here. His liberality in these progressive movements is known by all. The settlement is one of the human bee-hives of the county, and the farmers here are the widest awake of any in the state. They are the people who started the Catawba county Creamery, which is proving such a success. Of course it means a great deal to get one of these schools for the county, but if it is to be had it these men will land it. Miss Curley, of Watauga is the efficient teacher of the school, and she has taught 64 children herself most of the time, having assistance part of the time from Miss Lutz, who is also a fine teacher. Howard A Banks, editor of the Democrat, made a talk on local taxation for schools, urging the people to vote the special local tax in the district for improving the school build ing, which is a good sized dry goods box, neat and clean, but not as up-to date as the teachers and patrons of the school; and for the extension of the school term of four months for two months longer. He also bespoke the farm life school for this neighborhood, if it is possible to induce the county to establish one. It is at a point equally distant from Newton and Hick ory, so that it would not give either town any advantage over the other in the way of trade, etc., and it would be educational ly to the county what the A. & M. is to the state. Mr. C. W. Cox, of the Kimball Piano Exhibit, in Hickory, made a bright, witty speech. He was heartily thanked for the use of a splendid Kimball. Dinner was sandwitched in between exercises by the child ren—the brightest faced children —in whom are wrapped up vast possibilities, if they have the school advantages they ought to. The program was as follows: Opening Speech Clarence Bowman. Song, Welcome. What I'd Like to Be, Eight girls. Catching the Cat, Nellie Bolick. Choice of Professions, Five boys. Nobody's Child.

The Ivey Manufacturing Co., Will Add This Line to Its Present Products. . Hickory is the North Carolina city of diversified industries. Now a new industry is to be taken on by an old plant. The industry is that of manu facturing school desks. The plant is the old Ivey & HiceCo., which has now been reorganized as the Ivey Manu facturing Co. Mr. Geo. P. Ivey and Dr. W. H. Nicholson, now the leading spirits of this company, are con vinced that there is a good open ing in the South for the manu facture of school desks. There is only one other factory in the South which makes them, and it is at Columbus, Ga. The freight, too is high on school desks from northern factories. The improved school desk is in demand, going into the country schools in large quantities as well as the city school. It is there fore confidently expected that Hickory will become a centre in the South for this industry. The company will continue to make its picker-sticks and fa mous lug straps. Building News. That Hickory is still gro* ing is evidenced by the new build ings going up on every side. Mr. J. A. Lentz has purchased the old Thornton Light and Pow er Company Co. property and will soon build thereon a nice, up-to date dwelling house. Judge Councill has removed the fence in front of his property below his residence and will grade the lot to the street. He will eventually build several neat cottages there to rent. Mr. I. L. Lanier is building a large residence on 15th street. Mr. Boyd will soon build an up-to-date residence on the John Pope lot on 12th ave. Mr. Leroy Abernethy will build a home for himself on 13th ave. Mr. L. P. Elrod is building a nice cottage in Oakland Heights. Dr. T. C. Blackburn has bought a lot next to A. A. Yoder on 15th street, and will build. Angora Goats in Watauga. Correspondence of the Democrat. Boone, March 24. —Dr. Little has been showing some fine Angora goats. There are sever al small herds in the county. There is little doubt but these animals are well suited to this section. They produce an extra quality of wool and are good for mutton. Their browsing habits will cause the fields to soon be cleared of briers and under growth. Several farmers on New river have fed other peoples cattle on their meadovs for one dollar a month per head. The tempta tions to sell hay at a good price has caused many meadows to be robbed yearly and nothing put back. We are hoping for a fruit crop. There are no blcoms yet. Irish potatoes have been very cheap this spring—forty cents per bushel. Several farmers say that even at this low figure there is a profit in the crop. The tendency is to drift away from the old stand by, cabbage, and raise other crops. There is such a waste in trying to keep cab bage through the winter. A. M. Whistle than Whine. Just 'Fore Xmas.

Moser & cutt, Grimeb Drug Co, % T ' HICKORY, N. C;, THURSDAY. MARCH 30. 1911. Jersey Catiis Brought SIOO6. Dairy Men From Four Counties Purchased High Grade Stock. Thf»re was an animated scene in the street between Aiken's Stable ar.d the Hickory Milling Co. Saturday morning as 29 head of high grade Jersey cattle from Tennessee were sold at auction. Zeb Buchanan was auctioneer. About 300 farmers, a sprink ling of them from Caldwell, Burke and "Little Aleck," form ed a ring around the deer-eyed beauties and pointed out their strong points. Nearly all of the cattle will be fresh in a short time. The first purchase was a fine animal which was knocked down to Mr. J. L. Bernhardt, of Lenoir, for $45. "Men, don't let Caldwell coun ty tane this stock away from Catawba,'' cried Mr. W. J. Shu ford, excitedly, but Mr, Bern hardt repeated the same trick a little bit later. The sale was pulled off by the Catawba Countv Live Stock Association. The prices were not high but the association just about made expenses, and is well satisfied to do so, as its effort is to bring up the breed of cattle in the count.v. The total sum real ized was SIOO6. All the cattle were tuberculin tested. Many of the contributors to the creamery were purchas ers. The association will pull off another sale of Jerseys within 60 or 90 days and at the same time will auction off a number of percheron colts. The terms are 2 per cent off for cash or 60 days and a bankable note. Among the purchasers were J. L. Barnhadt, of Lenoir: W. J. Shuford, A. W. Allison, G. W. Beach, J. C. Lyons, H. Wilson, D. E. Seapoeh, G. W. Allison, the latter a new comer to Hick ory who will go into dairying exclusively; John Burris, Adrian Shuford, Jadge W. B. Councill, James Hart, J • S. Starnes, J. W.

Herman, of Maiden. Catawba College Notes. Correspondence of The Democrat. The baseball season opened Saturday, March 18, with the defeat of South Fork Institute bv the score of 26-3; after this game the team left for its east ern trip. On Monday they play ed Bingham at Mebane, losing by the score of 5-6; from the standpoint of comparative strength of the two teams Ca tawba should have won this and it was hard luck to lose it for Johnson pitched a good game. At Chapel Hill two new pitchers were tried out: Peeler was batted out for ten runs in the first two innings, but after Fesperman was put in only two more runs were made for the next seven innings; the final score was 12-2. At Wake Forest the first game was lost 9-5, but on Thursday Fesperman went into the box for Catawba and with excellent support from the team held the Baptists down to five hits and shut them out with a score of 3-0. The only really bitter thing about the trip was the defeat from Bingham; the other schools were so much larger that noth ing but defeat was expected, for even at Chapel Hill the so called second team had many first team men on it. On Saturday, March 25 the baseball team defeated the deaf and dumb team at Morganton by the score of 6 1, Peeler doing the twirling.

The next meeting will be with Mrs. W. A. Hall on April sth. The Jersey Cow. Little Miss Ruth Lutz recited this poem at the Killian's school closing and it took the dairy farmers by storm: Away down south in Dixie Land, We have the Jersey cow; She's the biggest paying thing we have, I tell you that right now. She lifts the mortgage from the farm, And feeds the babies, too; She pays household bill all right, Each day the whole year through. She fills the pail with nice, rich cream, When you put her to the test; Just feed her well and treat her kind, And she will do the rest. She'll doubly pay for all the bran, And meal and hulls you buy; And when you sum up all accounts, You'll forget that feed is high. She's grateful too for favors shown, Just likes a little petting, too; She gets so close to a woman's heart, Just as the children do. She is the dearest little cow, With a disposition kind; She's high toned too in all respects, Her peer no one can find.' The farmer needs no credit book, He's always happy now; Next to his wife and little kids, He loves the Jersey cow. Three cheers for the little Jersey cow, She's a treasure that we hold; The poor man's friend the rich man's pride, She's *rorth her weight in gold. "Suffered day and night the torment of itching piles. - Nothing helped me until I usea Doan's Oiniment. It cured me permanently."—Hon. John R. Gar rett Mayor, Girard, Ala. The First Food for Young Chicks. Important Information lor Pool ' try Raisers at This Time. Written for the Democrat: After the chicks are hatched, the success in raising them de pends largely upon the care they get during the first week. Just before the chick leaves the shell it absorbs the volk of the egg, and consequently is not hungry for 36 or 48 hours after hatching and no food should be given them until they begin to fret and pick around for food then feed them. Take each chick and dip its bill 'n tepid water. As Mr. Keller strass says, "This washes their faces." Sprinkle a little sand around for them to pick at, and give them hard boiled eggs mashed fine, and oat meal flakes sprink led around on floor or bread crumbs moistened with sweet | milk as dry as possible. A very little at a time should be given them, but sprinkle it around several times during the day. about every two hours—do this for two days, don't over feed at first. Oat meal should be given them once each day until they are at least three weeks old. After the second day give them prepared "Baby Chick Food" twice daily and until they are large enough for wheat. Dry coarse wheat bran must be given them on the second day in little boxes about an inch high and kept before them until they are grown and always after that. Chicks are very fond of it, and it will surprise you how much they will eat of it in one day. If deprived of it for a day or so, they will leave everything else and go to it, this is a very necessary food. Give them tepid water to drink for several weeks, as some claim this will keep off bowel trouble, which kills so many young chicks. - - - L " Give them scraps from the table just what you eat, when they are about a week old, and especially meat scraps cut up fine they enjoy very much, this gives them a change in diet, and helps to make them grow. Don't feed the hard boiled eggs after the second day, put them on the dry food, but give, them bread crumbs sprinkled in sweet milk, as dry as you can, and as often as you can for sev eral weeks or longer. And if you have it give them sweet milk to drink all the time, but be care ful about about cleaning out the vessel that the milk stays in, scald it often. If you hatch with a hen, after she begins hatching and has several out—take them awav from her—(the chicks) and place them in a warm basket with flannels in it, be sure and have it warm, and keep it in a warm place. This keeps the hen from mash ing the chicks and gives her a better chance with the rest of the eggs, and continue to take them from her and place in the same basket with the other chicks. When she has the chicks under her, it makes her restless and to set up off of the remain ing eggs, and if they are taken from her she remains quiet and | can finish the hatch better, and you will save manv a 2hicks life, a* she is not so apt to step on one, and crush it. Keep the chicks in this basket until they seum hungry, then take her off the nest and feed with corn or wheat as much as she wants and water her good, then give her the chicks and feed them. Watch out for lice on the chicks, as they leave the hen and go on the chicks, as their blood and flesh is so much better than the hens. Grease their heads and under each wing, and under their bill, as lice go to the tender est parts first, and on their heads they penetrate the skull and of course the chick droops around and dies. I have written this article hoping I may help to save the chicks life, as I feel the first few weeks means your success in raising them, and hope it may help some one along in starting in the poultry business.

The insurrection in Mexico is divided into three parts, not re lated to each other. That in Chihuahua, led by Madero, a man of wealth and social stand ing, began early in November. Later the movement in Sonora, led by Blanco, developed. Later still came the movement in Lower California by another independ ent body of men, mostly Ameri cans, and if despatches are to be trusted, mostly fugitives from justice. For five months the dis order las been spreading and the Mexican government's effort to quell it have been singulary inadequate, only small bodies of troops being sent into Chihuahua and Sonora, the main army re maining massed near the Mexi can capital. "We have scarcely touched our resources as yet," said Senor Creel last month, Mexico's minister of foreign re lations; with the money, guns, and men at our command, we can easily put in the field 50,000 men." Still the disorder has been allowed to continue, and, instead of putting an adquate force in the field, the Mexican government has kept her soldiers near the capital and expended her energies in the way of repeat ed protests at Washington, a fact that lends some color to the claim made in despatches to American dailies from Mexico City that 90 per cent, of the population even in that district are in sympathy with the insurrection.
